Has any one done this? I have tried to set the flash to manual mode 1/1 - 1/32 but whenever I half press the shutter button to focus the flash goes back to TTL mode which of course overexposes since the 5400 HS and the 7D body is not compatible.

The 7D manual says 5400HS can be used in manual mode, so what's wrong with my setup?

U need to set your 7D into manual as well..!! if you are using it with A or S or P, it will switch to TTL metering.

Alternatively you can tape up one of the pins to fool the flash/camera into thinking it's in manual mode. Not sure, maybe you can search the forums or dpreview for more info.
